Tim is a first grader and reads 28 words per minute. Assuming he maintains the same rate, use the double number line to find how many words he can read in 5 minutes.
Words 0 28
Minutes 0 1
Tim can read
words in 5 minutes.
I am confused!!!!!! PLZ HELP ME
really?
in 1 minute he can read 28 words
so in 5 minutes he can read 5x28 or 140 words
I have no clue what you mean by "use the double number line ".
Are you using some kind of slide rule????
To find how many words Tim can read in 5 minutes, we can use the information given on the double number line.
We see that in 1 minute, Tim can read 28 words.
To find out how many words he can read in 5 minutes, we can look at the ratio between minutes and words.
On the double number line, we can see that for every 1 minute, there are 28 words. So, we can say that the ratio of words to minutes is 28:1.
To find out how many words Tim can read in 5 minutes, we can use this ratio:
28 words / 1 minute = x words / 5 minutes
To solve for x, we can use cross-multiplication.
28 * 5 = 1 * x
140 = x
Therefore, Tim can read 140 words in 5 minutes.
